i think for this year it's fine. i think even going forward it will still be good to have a team that can bully with the run the way we do. 

the problem is that we don't have much of a choice. we certainly don't have a QB that can help us out in a shootout so that's definitely going to have to be addressed, along with a pass catching TE or two.  i don't think we need a personality change as a team, tbh. i like the pounding culture. we just need to add to it, add the capability to kill through the air if needed. 

but i have to admit loving watch that seattle defense get wore out because we keep battering away. adding more of an air game to it can only thin out the defense more. i mean the way we're loading up at the line with big bodies, it's only a matter of time before defenses start stacking the box and shutting us down. we don't have much to spread the ball and them out. 

if wilkes can keep this aggressive nature going and building, i really don't care what our philosophy is otherwise. more than half the battle is getting players bought in to whatever mindset you are trying to instill. if it's aggressive, situationally aware, and disciplined (which this team seems to be), it will go along way in being successful.

i was big on getting some offensive brain to make us one of those flashy offenses that will pile on the points, but i'm really warming up to the idea of wiles being that guy. Just get him a better OC and QB and TE and i think we're set.

This to me is the key part here. In the 2022 NFL, we should be beyond one-dimensional smashmouth football...it should be punishing football where opponents are demoralized by the offense on the ground AND through the air, plus a lights-out, opportunistic D and special teams. We already had this in 2015. Again, that's why we need a QB that can impose his will on a defense to go along with a run game that threatens to. We should be able to exploit all their attacks, not just bullying on the ground.

if Darnold keeps playing mistake free football and moving this offense look out

If we can keep getting smart play out of Darnold, we could be a legit threat if we sneak in. 

Pardon the bump, fellas...

 

But may I point out that Sam had one throw at the start of the game(i believe) that was almost picked and made a poor decision in forcing a ball to Tremble who was covered in the endzone instead of running it in himself (he had wide-open space)?

It wasn't exactly mistake-free football from him.

He was fortunate he wasn't picked (That could've set the tone for the whole game right there) and we lost points on the latter. 

 

For those here saying we need a QB, yeah you damn right we need a QB.

I'm pretty sure this would be his first choice.

His love for the Panthers is clear, so yes.

My point is  that his success so far, and especially if we go 3-1 to finish, and he is an available black HC who became a coach of the ear candidate down the stretch.  If I had an opening I would sure put him on the invite list  (maybe not Arizona, lol!) for an interview.

I'd agree.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
